Vice President of Development Jerry
May announces year-end retirement
University of Michigan Vice
President
for
Development
Jerry
May
announced
his
plans to retire at the end of
the year after nearly three
decades
of
expanding
the
school’s fundraising efforts to
record heights.
May has been affiliated
with the University since his
time as a graduate student in
the higher education program,
during which he then took
on a job in the Development
Office. After spending 13 years
in the position, he left to lead
the
Ohio
State
University
fundraising team and raised a
$1.23 billion campaign — the
most successful in the school’s
history. In 2003, May returned
to the University as the vice
president
for
development
and since has undertaken a
variety of projects. One of
such projects is the Victors
for
Michigan
fundraising
campaign, launched in 2011,
which
raises
money
for
increasing “student support,
engaged learning and bold
ideas.”
The seven-and-a-half-year
campaign is now its final
stretch, and though the final
amount has not yet been
determined, May’s office is
already $330 million past its
$4 billion goal. Campaign
Director
Todd
Baily
has
known May for 30 years, and
described him as a dedicated
individual who is held in high
esteem by his coworkers.
“It’s been a great pleasure
working
with
him,”
Baily
said. “I don’t think anybody
could find a more committed,
passionate,
development
professional,
either
here
at Michigan or across the
country. Jerry is very well
respected
nationally
by
peer institutions for his
fundraising
leadership.
He
is
extremely
knowledgeable about the
profession and an expert
on
the
University
of
Michigan.”
However,
before
he
reaches retirement, May
explained he still plans
to continue working and
travel to many major cities
over the next two month.
“I’m
going
to
keep
raising
money
for
the
University,” May said. “I’m
going to try to support all
the
good
development
professionals we have at
the University, work with
the wonderful volunteers
who help us raise the
money
and
continue
working as far past the
campaign goal as we can.
I got nine more months to
do that.”
May also reflected on
his time at the University,
and said he continued to
work here because of the
quality of the University,
the
passion
of
those
with whom he worked and
the exciting challenges of
fundraising.
“The reason I stayed is
because I love the University
of Michigan; you can’t work
for a better place with a
better product, that’s the first
thing,” May said. “Secondly,
the donors and volunteers —
there stand no equals – they’re
among
the
most
talented,
skilled people I’ve ever worked
with … I love the challenge of
mounting campaigns, that’s
probably
my
specialty
…
Michigan continues to have
the appetite to achieve in its
fundraising.”
Some
of
May’s
greatest
moments at the University
included working with big
donors such as Bert Askwith,
Stephen Ross, and Richard
and Susan Rogel — just last
week, the latter donated$150
million to the University for
cancer research.
“The kind of thing that gets
me — what you call the great
moments that give me the most
satisfaction — is working with
someone like Bert Askwith,
and all the things that give
him joy and help him support
the University,” May said. “For
me, it’s working with a donor
and matching them up to
things that give them passion,
make them smile and make
them feel good and that makes
me feel good.”
Pam
Stout,
the
senior
director
of
executive
communications,
also
touched on this enthusiasm
while thinking back on her
experiences
working
with
May. Stout has been working
closely with May over the
past year and described his
One of May’s biggest accomplishments was the Victors for Michigan campaign
